Ayurveda and Eye Health

In Ayurveda, the eye is believed to be governed by the Fire Element. Excess heat can negatively impact eye health. To balance the Fire Element and support eye health, Ayurveda recommends several practices including washing the face three to four times a day, taking regular baths, maintaining a healthy diet, living and working in well-ventilated areas or spending time outdoors in the fresh air, and the ancient practice of gazing at the cooling rays of the moon.

What are the Common Types of Eye Conditions

There are many types of eye conditions

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is the second leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide and the third in India. Despite controlling intraocular pressure (IOP), the disease progresses, prompting modern medicine to explore neuroprotective strategies for glaucomatous optic neuropathy (GON) management. Glaucoma is categorized into two types: open-angle glaucoma and narrow-angle glaucoma. The gradual loss of vision caused by glaucoma can be distressing for patients, making them question if it can be cured. Allopathic treatments include medications, laser therapy, and eye drops to lower IOP. In severe cases, surgery might be recommended. Ayurveda offers eye supplements for glaucoma to manage the disease holistically without discomfort, providing a complementary approach to modern treatments.

Cataract

A cataract is a condition where the eye’s clear lens becomes cloudy, leading to decreased vision. It commonly results from the aging process, with near-sightedness (myopia) often developing as the cataract progresses. Untreated cataracts can lead to blindness. Ayurvedic treatment for cataracts at Ashtanga Ayurveda includes personalized medicines, diet, and lifestyle changes targeting the disease’s root cause. The lens is primarily composed of water and proteins, which are arranged to keep it clear. With age, some proteins clump together, causing cloudiness. This age-related cataract can become denser over time, making vision more difficult. In Ayurveda, this condition is called “timira” or “linga nasha,” attributed to aggravated vata, which dries out the lens, leading to vision loss. Ayurvedic treatments aim to balance body energies and nourish the eye’s nerves and tissues.

Scleritis

Scleritis is the inflammation of the sclera, the opaque part of the outer eye. Symptoms include pain, redness, photophobia, tearing, and occasional vision loss. If untreated, scleritis can cause complications like peripheral keratitis, uveitis, cataract, glaucoma, and blindness. While corticosteroids are effective, their side effects limit long-term use. Ayurveda offers alternative treatments focusing on reducing inflammation naturally.

Myopia (Nearsightedness)

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is the difficulty in seeing distant objects clearly. Light rays converge before reaching the retina, causing blurred distant vision but clear near vision. Factors contributing to myopia include excessive eye use, poor lighting, prolonged computer use, lack of eye exercises, improper diet, and heredity. Ayurvedic treatments for myopia aim to balance body energies, clear eye blockages, and strengthen optic nerves and tissues to improve vision. From an Ayurvedic perspective, vision defects are linked to dosha imbalances. “Alochak pitta” in the eyes is responsible for vision, and its vitiation leads to vision problems. Excessive eye use increases vata, weakening eye structures. Poor diet hampers digestion, producing toxins that block channels and cause optic tissue malnourishment. Ayurvedic treatments balance body energies and nourish optical tissues for better vision.
